BT Sport Box Office will be covering one of the greatest fights in British boxing history when Tyson Fury meets Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 April.
Fury, unbeaten in 32 fights, has not fought in the UK since August 2018 when he passed Francesco Pianeta in Belfast.
He has since reclaimed the WBC belt and taken on Deontay Wilder in a historic trilogy in the US.
In his most recent appearance, Fury retained his title with a thrilling 11th-round knockout of the American in Las Vegas.
Whyte is the mandatory contender for the WBC title and the Londoner last fought when he defeated Russia’s Alexander Povetkin in March 2021.
He was due to face Otto Wallin in October but the fight was called off after the Brit suffered a shoulder injury.
“Not since Lewis-Bruno has there been a major fight, an all-British showdown for the WBC World Heavyweight Championship,” Fury said at the announcement press conference.
“I want to put on an excellent show of knockout boxing in front of the British fans and sing a lot of songs afterwards! Time to party down at the Big Smoke!”
“It’s going to be a fantastic night of boxing and sold out with close to 100,000 seats,” added promoter Frank Warren. It’s going to be a special night because you have the WBC champion, the straight champion who hasn’t fought here in almost four years.”
Further details on booking Fury vs Whyte with BT Sport Box Office will be released shortly.
